Who thought irresistible damage speed 20 smite machine guns with decent HP and MR+ could be a good a good idea for a lair monster Who thought shortening lair to 6 levels was a good idea Who thought shortening orc to 2 levels was a good idea
You're memeing wrong
Aaron Cox
does anyone have the 1984 balancecrime image
Jose Thompson
You fucking know I do
They can take their extra AC silken pantaloons and their pretty tiles, I'm not touching trunk until they take those things out

Carter Butler
In Cataclysm, how far can I get if I stay pure (no bios and no mutations)?
Joshua Edwards
Orc on 2 levels only is such a retarded change i cant even explain how stupid it is Dream sheep and those retarded flying smiting shits are retarded as well, they can even wear armor and weapons i believe..
Bentley Foster
Lots of things can wield weapons and armor that you wouldn't expect them to.
>A Boggart comes into view. It is wielding a scimitar (Flaming).
Owen Jones
You can beat the game? It just takes longer to rng into crutches
Jason Wright
It always looks silly. I really want to see a boggart wielding a weapon now.
Aiden Jones
>now that chei has piety decay firstforchei poster has to actually post first
What is the meaning of adding piety decay to a god who's literally just about taking it easy What kind of shit for brains would do that
Logan Flores
Their goal with the new versions seems to be making the game shorter but more "intense". They know they want more "tactical situations" but have no idea of how to pace the game in a way that makes it fun for anyone but the guys they circlejerk with on the IRC, which have already played the game for years and hundreds if not thousands of hours on end
This ironically makes the game feel much longer than it was before they tried making it shorter
Jordan Stewart
So there are a couple of sci-fi roguelikes and a bunch of fantasy ones;
what genre could come next?
Joseph Reyes
I like the new UI interactions, the health bars, the staircase discovery and tiles. But I really hate the new stuff.
Could I grab the tiles from trunk, download .15, switch them and play .15 with trunk's tiles, offline?
Asher Bennett
I've kinda been thinking about a sort of western-vibe game. The problem with anything that isn't sci-fi or fantasy is that having magic or space magic is an easy way to add interest to your game.
Justin Lee
>finally managed to get the new demon release working >have to use some legacy startup option because my toaster doesn't have new enough opengl Stop advancing, technology. Thanks.
Dominic Gomez
>opengl >for a roguelike it's fucking letters on a black screen for christ's sake
Jose Diaz
It could be a weird west style game; I've seen them before on Veeky Forums and similar places. Wild west settings in a fantasy world, or at least where the march westward goes into strange territory with all sorts of weird creatures. Wampus cats, wendigos, monkey men and dinosaurs in the swamps. All kinds of potential weird magic or just strangeness that isn't even called magic.
Luis Wright
If you have any other suggestions for Crawl interface improvements I'll be happy to take a look at implementing them.
Brayden Flores
I like the Crypt entrance sprite. Is that spriter still active?
Piratepunk
>unity not even once
Connor Russell
I've been working on a Payday-inspired roguelike, so far I only have basic engine (load map, move @, highlight los) and tons of disjointed documents and notes on gameplay, stats and balance.
John King
lol didn't know Xom could do this
Easton Phillips
>It always looks silly. I really want to see a boggart wielding a weapon now.
Here's your boggart.

>The Desolation >A portal vault added in 0.19, featuring open areas with vision blocking clouds and non-living enemies.
Jayden Davis
Only having six slots seems like a big nerf. I guess to stop the "recruit literally everything you see early on" approach? Feels like I'm playing brogue with my pack constantly being full.
Jack Gutierrez
How do i destroy orange crystal statues?
Austin White
DCSS uses SDL2 with an opengl renderer. ToME4 uses SDL2 with an opengl renderer. DoomRL uses SDL with an opengl renderer. Brogue uses tcod which uses SDL for rendering, which attaches a simple SDL rendering context to a wrapper of native system window creation calls. OWH+ uses a DX11 renderer.
It's 2016, developers who are half fucking competent can make use of a hell of a lot more than ncurses.
also looks like chris is working towards a new poschengband release, as per stuff I've seen on his develop branch on github
But wow I had no idea at all that Hengband itself was still alive in some dev.
Ryan Ross
Yeah, man. However, the game is more generous with credits so you can give what you have more abilities and whatnot. I've gotten used to the smaller default party size, anyway.
Brandon Collins
>snakes to sticks hah
Zachary Edwards
pottery
Henry Howard
New Weird.
Adam Powell
Yeah, but that would require me to actually plan a build or something, instead of bumbling along losing all the unique links like I'm doing.
Xavier Cox
Good luck user.
Dylan Taylor
How does oone kill Cerebov and Antaeus as a SpEn considering they are awake? I mean if I completely cannot i will just give up on a 15 rune and finish the game
Zachary Ward
you can just snatch the rune without killing them, even without apportation. or you can level up throwing some and use needles to confuse/paralyze them and kill them easily, if the dungeon has spawned any. mana vipers and other summons could help as well.
Jace Edwards
>potion of exp at fucking D:1 >use it on longswords since I started with one >Level up, your fingenails lengthen FUCKA YOUUUUUUUUUUU
Jaxson Long
no fucka you ~They

Shut up Khaled ITS A LIE I NEVER BREAK THE LAW

Charles Moore
Horey fugging shiet Maybe i should go sneaky stabby
Austin Allen
yeah i'd definitely go with long blades. claws mut honestly isn't even that good especially with xom. you'd probly get the level 3 of it at xl 27 anyways.
Josiah Roberts
o fugg :D
Bentley Turner
Nice, the base base damage could be a little higher but besides that you got a good shutdown swap.
If you eeeeever feel like stabber, go play a Sp/VpEn to cure you of your insanity. You're a demonspawn. No.
Wyatt Bennett
He's probably the easiest of the late game uniques to kill early on, but mainly if you got a lot of allies yourself.
Jose Williams
Paralysis ended, only 37 hp left. My step from time failrate is dogshit (36%)
Ian Mitchell
slouch time? >If you eeeeever feel like stabber, go play a Sp/VpEn to cure you of your insanity. You're a demonspawn. No both of those are boring to play as stabbers. you need to run away way too much Ds is just as fine stabber race as any, can actually fight if shit goes south, and even has a chance to get innate darkness.
Alexander Edwards
Whats going on Is Xom smiling upon me?
Sebastian Adams
If Crawl must be cleansed of all bloat, how come we still have 6 different food items?
Michael Davis
Invis, temp disto, fear, agility heal wounds twice, slouce the normies out, rip and tear. if you had enough invo you could have bend time slowing major threats like say, an orc sorcerer
Carson Gomez
oh didn't notice paralysis lol i guess your best chance would be fog tele and quaffing hw ambrosia invis?
Nathaniel Jackson
Major satiation, meat Major satiation, plant Med satiation, meat Med satiation, plantish Low satiation, meat, 1 turn consumption Low satiation, plantish, 1 turn consumption
Blame spriggan flavor.
Juan Garcia
how come we still have hunger mechanics?
Evan Russell
to keep inventory space management tactical™ and interesting™ :^)
Easton Green
Honestly, I feel like there aren't any good scifi roguelikes out there, unless you count Prospector. It's still an anemic market.
Austin Reed
Someday I'll have my ridiculously bloated roguelike.
Jack Ramirez
Oh god I spent all my gold on two farm deeds and now I can't carry all this stuff what
Josiah Gonzalez
It worked but I got cocky and tried fighting roka anyways once I found her again. Needless to say I got fucking trashed even when invisible and mighted
Joseph Clark
After playing a slime in pozcumbutt can you really want anything else than that heresy?
Drop some of it until you're below your listed max weight. Go sell, cook, rest, repeat and don't leave the map until you're done. Sweet potatos are permafood so hold onto them. Look at the rot timers on the wiki to know what to prioritize.
Joshua Nguyen
FUCKING XOM HE SPAWNED A 3 HEADED HYDRA UP MY ASS Back to Trogspawn
Hudson White
I'd make it for you if I knew how to program.
But more pressing to the thread; what's your favorite kind of 'bloat' and what do you want to see more of with it?
Aaron Wright
t-thanks papa xom
Noah Wright
run away so he makes the hydra eat itself (or git gud) :^)
Gabriel Martin
how do you think the hair smells haha i would like to smell it haha just for laughs
Jaxon Myers
add an auto_autobutcher rc option that turns off autobutcher if the player worships fedhas or knows any corpse-using necro spells
Caleb Bell
>Wasting ID scrolls on wear/wield-IDable stuff
Joshua Brooks
haha that's like a bit creepy at least I think haha but like probably like strawberry haha i'll smell it
Jonathan Martinez
they are statues
if you have trouble fighting them just walk away from them like your father walked away from your life
Asher Cox
Whelp, a quarter of the stuff rotted, but at least I made some gold. And, like fifteen gardening skill and six cooking! Next one will be a bit more money, I think.
Henry Young
add an option that picks up misc slots that you don't have filled
add an option that stops picking up wands of types that you've picked up and dropped before
Michael Johnson
none of the stats on that dagger matter for doing sneaky-stabby except the +6
and a +6 dagger of drain will still not be as good as claws for just murdering the dudes once you have some skill
Jaxson Parker
Yeah, in the future, don't harvest more than 6 at a time. Harvest, cook, rest, repeat
Tyler Rodriguez
power-at-a-cost, along the lines of Chei or Ashe
Demon is really appealing to me.
Joseph Sullivan
Can a stealthy stabby enchanter even really do Bailey? Every time I've seen one they're packed, loud, and completely lacking in corridors.
Isaiah Thomas
Sci-fi and fantasy work as genres of book and film, but not so well as genres to fit video-game worlds into. There are steampunk and cyberpunk roguelikes, but those are both part sci-fi and part fantasy.
Jeremiah White
How are shops for cooked food - does it just rot, or does it sell?
Connor Miller
Heh heh heh...
Nathaniel Reed
Roll (w)ield, (W)ear and (P)ut on into a single command.
Since you cannot use an item with more than one command, Nethack-style, what's the point of three different ones?
Samuel Parker
>You wield a long sword of distortion >Unequip it? >You are cast into abyss
Gavin Rogers
It will sit until it sells or you take it out after which it pretty much instantly rots
Joshua Jackson
>Sci-fi and fantasy work as genres of book and film, but not so well as genres to fit video-game worlds into. Why the hell not?
James Richardson
>Aizul yawns, and then pretends she didn't
AIZUL A CUTE! CUTE!
Nathaniel Diaz
>she Who is this penile reptile?
Lucas Myers
Alright, that seems like a nice way to do it, then!
Luis Smith
They're just too general! Hardly a single video-game wouldn't fit into either genre unless it was educational, simulationist, or puzzle.
Anthony White
>You try to fuck Aizul, but your plate boxers prevent you from hitting. >Aizul fucks you! >Wow! That felt really good! >You come...
Charles Roberts
>plate boxers kek
Benjamin Bell
I'm not getting what you mean.
But there's a fuckload of different, specific flavours of Sci-Fi or Fantasy.

Gotta love playing pranks on my bro.
Robert Wilson
>not Edmund
Zachary Edwards
they take different amounts of time which is why they're different keys
Oliver Johnson
Can't the time needed be based on the item type, instead of the menu?
Oliver Butler
>friend ah shit. Why would anyone do Edmund when they could have siggy?
William Gutierrez
bucklers of distortion don't exist user
you can wear-id armor and rings just fine, and you can wear-ID amulets once you know of or aren't worried about faith/harm. you generally don't wear-id weapons because distort or randarts because they can have *contam or *drain
Jaxon Allen
>He doesn't wear ring boxers Dumb tablords think its all about jackhammering. THE NIMBLE DICK GETS THE ORB
Henry Harris
>Not steamrolling through D and lair because distortion is busted
